What are the different kinds of chef and specialization?

Answer 1

Listed below are the different kinds or types of Chef and their roles, however, may vary among restaurateurs/hoteliers preferences:

1. Executive Chef, also known by the term Chef de Cuisine, is the professional pinnacle to which many chefs only aspire. He/she would be in charge of the kitchen, direct the responsibilities of assistant chefs and acts as the creative persona planning, creating and approving the dishes as well as the menu.
2. Sous Chef, or Assistant Chef, is the right-hand to the Executive Chef. He/She direct multiple assistant chefs, cooks and kitchen staff as well as figure into the culinary creation of dishes and menu.
3. Senior Chef, formally called Chef de Partie, usually is assigned one particular menu specialty in which he or she excels. He/she might also direct the prep work of minor kitchen staff and assistant cooks in your area.
4. Demi Chef is very similar to Senior Chef. He/she is customarily specialize in one particular type of dish and perhaps direct the prep work of staff key to his/her specialty. A good example would be sushi chefs.
5. Pastry Chefs may be solely responsible for creation of the dessert menu. They may also work in concert with bakers, and others with very specialized dessert and pastry roles.
